Council Meetings

Friday, May 20, 2005 - 00:12 by Mike Milinkovich

So this week in Mike’s excellent travel adventures, I am in Portland, Oregon for the gathering of the Eclipse Councils. We’ve just wrapped up three days of meetings of the Requirements, Architecture and Planning Councils.

I am not sure how widely recognized Eclipse is for the ground-breaking work it is doing in creating a commercially-friendly, predictable open source community. Some of the things we are working towards are truly unique.

IBM Blogging and Breathing Guidelines

Wednesday, May 18, 2005 - 16:39

This week IBM announced a new set ofblogging guidelines that encouraged IBM employees to create public blogs. I also came across this great parody of these guidelines, called Breathing@IBM. It is a good laugh.

Marketing to Bloggers

Tuesday, May 17, 2005 - 05:21

When we do our launch in June, I want to make sure we get the message out via different blogs and developer forums. I’ve been contemplating what is the best method to convince people to write about Eclipse in their blogs. Microsoft has taken an interesting approach of actually recruiting 20 ‘influential bloggers’ to talk about Longhorn. I’ve been wondering if this approach would work for Eclipse?

Eclipse Tops in SD Times 100

Monday, May 16, 2005 - 11:04

SD Times just released their annual SD Times 100 annual survey of the most influential companies and organziations in the industry. The Eclipse Foundation come out on top in the Tools and Environments category and listed as one of the key influencers. More importantly a good portion of the 72 companies mentioned, at least 26 by my count, are members of the Eclipse Foundation.

Eclipse independence

Friday, May 13, 2005 - 03:40 by Mike Milinkovich

NetBeans just shipped their 4.1 release. Congratulations guys. By all reports it is a much better Java IDE than its predecessor releases.

But this statement included in InfoWorld’s coverage of their release certainly has me stumped:

Dumping. Not.

Friday, May 13, 2005 - 03:12 by Mike Milinkovich

I read this morning an interesting blog entry by Bob Foster entitled Eclipse is not Apache.

I certainly agree with Bob’s conclusions, which I summarize as:

(a) it would be exceedingly hard to use Eclipse as a dumping ground for code (you can also see my post on TheServerSide on the topic. Look for “We’re not a dump”)

European Tour

Thursday, May 12, 2005 - 19:44 by Mike Milinkovich

So I have been on the road again this week. First stop was Germany where I was speaking at the JAX conference. The buzz and energy around Eclipse is huge in Germany. Based on a show of hands, at least 90% of the crowd at JAX are using Eclipse for their Java development.

Ed Burnette’s Great Adventure

Wednesday, May 11, 2005 - 07:51

I recently asked Ed Burnette to help write an article about Eclipse 3.1 for an upcoming edition of JDJ. Ed, being a great supportter, said ‘sure and I’m going to get input from the community on my blog. ‘ Kind of a cool way to write an article and something I have never seen done before. I’ve even helped write a draft introduction.

Eclipse at JavaOne

Tuesday, May 10, 2005 - 11:48

Eclipse is going to have a booth at JavaOne. I expect Sun to be pushing hard on NetBeans, so I want to make sure Eclipse has a strong showing. Right now we are planning to feature the new releases of each project. If anyone is going to JavaOne and wants to help ‘staff’ the booth, let me know. We will probably have 2 hours shifts, so if you want to show off Eclipse to other Java developers this is the place to be.

Marketing Launch of 3.1

Monday, May 9, 2005 - 06:22

We are starting to get ready for the marketing launch of Eclipse 3.1 and all of the other projects that are launching at the same time, including WTP, TPTP, EMF, GEF, VE, UML2, AspectJ,etc. It is really amazing to me that all of these projects will be releasing within 30 days of the Platform.

I would like to get the help of the Eclipse community to make this launch successful. For me, an open source community is not just about open source development but also open source marketing. I hope to use my blog to communicate the current plans and get your feedback and ideas.
